A/N: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. And I'm sure there have been similar stories…but I haven't read many stories on here so I don't know…just felt like writing since I haven't had a creative outlet in a while. So here it goes.
Also most will be written in Edward's POV, unless stated before hand
Preface- You Could Run a Red Light
A slowly stepped on my brakes as the light turned red. My eyes were swollen and I had a headache from all the crying. I couldn't continue…I had no more will. As I listen to the song playing on the radio, it made me start to think. It didn't apply directly to me, but certain phrase hit.
A chance to think
Am I drinking too much
Should I keep going
Lose the life that I love
A second glance
When coming to a red light
You can run a red light
Give up at a red light
You break the mold
When running through the tolls
Speeding through your whole life
'You could run this red light' I thought to myself…I could just slam on the accelerator and go through the intersection…knowing a car from the other direction would hit me…hoping it would be fatal. I know that's kind of dark, but that's where I am. I just can't see my continuing on; I can't continue feeling this sad.
For some reason, I looked to my right at the car next to me. Sitting inside was a young girl…maybe seventeen. She had a long brown hair and a look that told me see was deep in thought. Then, she turned towards me. Our eyes met, and it was like she was looking into my soul. And then, she smiled at me, like she knew what I was dealing with. A smile that told me everything was going to be ok, that I could overcome this. I smiled back at her and she turned her head forward again. The light changed to green, and she was gone. I slowly started pulling through the light, with a slight smile. All it took was a simple stranger smiling at me to make me realize this is life, the good, the bad, the ugly…and sometimes beautiful. I decided that day I would live…in hopes not only to be happy, but to maybe see that girl again, who changed my life in just ten seconds.
When things look low
You've gotta keep strong
Feet to the grass
You've gotta walk it off
The bows been tied
Too tight to laugh
Feet to the ground
You've gotta walk it off, walk it off
